> When reading in text mode and with the default input record separator of "\n" , chomp() will remove any of the line endings that "\n" could mean

chomp in not related to reading in any mode. It just gets a string and changes it. readline might translate the line ending depending on the :crlf IO-layer.

$ perl -we '$/ = "\n"; @s = ("1\r\n", "2\n\r", "3\n", "4\r"); chomp @s
+; print @s' | xxd
